Enclosure: Alliance's response to the IICD proposal for a decommissioning scheme

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Alliance Party, in their response to the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning's proposal for the destruction of arms, welcome the detailed modalities provided by the Commission but express concern over the lack of actual decommissioning actions or direct contact with paramilitary groups. The Alliance Party emphasizes the importance of decommissioning as a confidence-building measure, crucial for demonstrating the genuineness and longevity of ceasefires. They argue that effective decommissioning, alongside an end to paramilitary violence, would bolster public confidence in the peace process and facilitate a more favorable approach to political prisoners, stressing that confidence-building measures should be independent of political progress in the talks.
